To solve the questions given, we need to understand the components involved in a Cash Flow Statement.
A Cash Flow Statement provides an overview of all the cash inflows and outflows a business experiences over a specific period.
Question 16: Calculate i, ii, and iii.
i (Total Income for July):
The formula for Total Income is:
Total Income = Cash at start + Sales income
Given:
Cash at start for July = 265 , 000
Sales income for July = 150 , 000
To solve for Total Income:
i = 265 , 000 + 150 , 000 = 415 , 000
ii (Total Income for August):
Again using the formula:
Given:
Cash at start for August = 330 , 000
Sales income for August = 150 , 000
To solve for Total Income:
ii = 330 , 000 + 150 , 000 = 480 , 000
iii (Cash at end of August):
The formula to calculate Cash at end is:
Cash at end = Total Income − Total Expenses
Given:
Total Income for August (calculated) = 480 , 000
Total Expenses for August = 85 , 000
To solve for Cash at end:
iii = 480 , 000 − 85 , 000 = 395 , 000
Question 17: What is the total income calculated?
Adding the Total Income for each month:
June: 350 , 000
July: 415 , 000
August: 480 , 000
Total income over the three months:
Total Income = 350 , 000 + 415 , 000 + 480 , 000 = 1 , 245 , 000
Question 18: How is cash at end calculated?
Cash at end is calculated using the formula:
Cash at end = Total Income − Total Expenses
Where Total Income is the sum of all cash inflows (such as sales income), and Total Expenses include all outflows like stock purchase, wages, electricity, utilities, rental, and transport.
This ensures that the business can track its liquidity and understand how much cash it has available at the end of each period.
